As Bethesda's silence on the future of begins to frustrate the game's community,some players have taken it upon themselves to suggest a simple fix for one of the game's most annoying issues. Since the massive sci-fi RPG was released in late 2023, fans have looked to the developer to address the many quality-of-life issues that made it into the final version. Some patches and updates have been pushed out over the last few months addressing some of these problems but the issue of clunky quest design has yet to be meaningfully improved.
Taking to Reddit, user JinansBreath shared their idea for how to fix the problem of players needing to travel halfway across the galaxy to simply endure a seconds-long conversation with an NPC: A radio.
Their idea includes the ability to simply call important quest givers upon completing a section of their mission to either complete it or begin the next step of the storyline, thus preventing the needless runaround. JinansBreath's idea was well-received by the community with many calling for Bethesda to take note and implement the function in a future update.
The suggestion to add a communication line between players' ships and NPCs is just one of many requests enthusiasts have made since the game's launch.

With the help of a few mods, astronauts can now travel the stars while listening to a selection of specially-selected music.
Some of the most common mods merely adjust the game's settings, tweaking the overall appearance and animations with enhanced textures, boosted frame rates, and generally slicker appearance. Others are far larger in their ambitions, overhauling how NPCs function in the world and ensuring traders no longer run out of stock or funds. These have all been created without the official mod support Bethesda promised is in active development.
While Bethesda has rolled out a handful of content updates for, the community has been left cold by the lack of substantial additions. The most recent patch included a Photo Mode with posable NPCs and some minor tweaks to the lockpicking mini-game, prompting players to question the developer's priorities given how many other majors still exist in the game. The studio has promised more updates and the expansion in 2024 but no information on when these will arrive has been shared.

Xbox Game Pass is already loaded with unique games but possibly the most visually striking is now available and users should definitely have it on their radar.

While many bounty hunters in the galaxy far, far away are known for their deadly aim, advanced weaponry, and cunning plots, they're not all equal in the ways of The Empire.

Building one's own ship in may just be the game's best feature so one talented player managed to create a design that evokes the energy of one of Disney's most underrated animated movies. Embedding itself in an aesthetic developer Bethesda Game Studios describes as «NASA-punk,» the look and feel of is very much grounded in a more realistic take on the future. Yet sometimes, it pays to look to the past for inspiration, even if the result is somewhat unconventional by the standards of sci-fi.
